Warning Signs by Cyph4

No one can say they haven't been given fair warning.  Right at the start of this album, we're all told in so many words:

“Consider this a warning if you don’t read the signs.”

If you think there’s more to that statement, you’re absolutely correct. Over instrumentals that are at once familiar & unexpected, the signs are painted in classic handstyles, throw-ups, pieces and burners. The warnings flash red & blue as the City bleeds in cracked mirror image. This is the story of Cyph4, Frisco historian, gatekeeper and forever-hungry emcee, stepping back into the spotlight.

Let’s stay with the matter of Warning Signs. It’s of supreme importance Cyph convey to you, on multiple levels, sh*t ain’t right. Not only that, all evidence points to things getting worse. But if it’s any consolation, there’s still someone who gives a f**k about these things. This is an album that provides an ethos simple enough to live by. As long we recognize the f**k sh*t in our midst, we can conduct ourselves accordingly, because our survival depends on it. The scope of the universe bends towards justice, and not even the smallest unjustice should be permitted. It’s in that spirit we tell you, it be would be a crime against humanity to sleep on this album.

For those who need additional convincing, the foundational elements of the Cyph4 legend are available for you to experience. These include the collaborative albums Uneven Pavement and Dark Alley Politics, and the gold-certified “Miss Chang” single released through France’s Chinese Man Records. Warning Signs is the reward for years of waiting in suspense, as Cyph & his Old Soul Kollective family have been carving their inglorious monument.
